Our company is in the middle of deploying Terminal Services 2008 R2, however i have noticed that our TS Users profiles do not get removed from local Terminal Server at user logoff.
Now im aware that this is something to-do with a process holding onto a connection to the registry at logoff (or words to that affect).
so i cleared the TS event log logged in as the user, logged out as the user and this event was left in the registry.
Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other
applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The
applications or services that hold your registry file may not function
properly afterwards.DETAIL – 2 user registry handles leaked from

Explorer\LinksBar
Now im still fairly new to Terminal Services and its finer bits, however i have no real idea what i should be doing with this error message, google provides some info on the problem but no specific reason for it or cure.
i can see that something within IE's Linkbar is one of the issues and what i can guess is a printer, but neiter error is more specific about what went wrong.
thanks

If you have the Shared Folders component of VMware tools installed then that's what's probably causing the problem. I ran into this as well. Remove the Shared Folders component and that should fix it.
